On the extended Bank Holiday weekend, millions of people are expected to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, with events scheduled around the UK.

After authorities granted “a huge amount” of applications from locals keen to commemorate the monarch’s 70th birthday, an estimated 16,000 street parties would be held around the country.

Private street parties make up some of the events.

Others are available to the public, such as the large jubilee meal and the huge lunch.

Thousands of additional local and private street celebrations are being planned across the country.

“Hundreds of thousands of Big Jubilee Lunch street parties, BBQs and picnics are being planned across the nation to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen’s amazing 70 years,” says Eden Project executive director Peter Stewart.

“Between 10 to 12 million people is a modest estimate in terms of the scale of participation, and that’s testament to the community spirit and appetite for connection we know is out there.”

“Holding your own event isn’t hard – just knock on your neighbors’ doors, grab some nibbles and hang the bunting!” he added.
